Wow thank you for that. I just started my first semester of an RN program at a community college and I'm already struggling with SO much reading. So it's interesting that you're saying the way you finally passed is by NOT reading every single page. I...
I've researched several crna programs and most of them just look at your last 60-90 credits. So if you continue to get A's and B's from here on out you should be fine.
I've never been part of a study group, but I've also wondered how they work. For instance, how is the material reviewed? Is there an outline or something the group goes over, or does each person take a section from each chapter and go over it with th...

Have you considered taking A & P online? I know Rio Salado College offers it, but I'm not sure how their lab component works. Their classes are also transferable to most AZ RN programs. Might be something to think about. Good luck!
I'll be starting my first semester of nursing school in August. In addition I want to take statistics, so it's a very work intensive class load. I have recently been offered a job in an ER as a medical scribe. Although it doesn't involve any direct p...

Hey Sopranokris, I've been thinking about taking a phlebotomy class myself. I'll be starting the nursing program in August so I don't know when I'll have time. Anyway, I was wondering how you practice blood draws. I mean, is it on actual people or du...
